Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 131

At the court meeting the next day, Li Shimin just announced the results of the previous processing to the ministers and informed the world of Li Yi's rebellion.Then he ordered Yuchi Gong, grandson Wuji and Luo Yan to lead the army to Binzhou immediately.

Binzhou is not far from Chang'an, but the weather is a bit cold, and the days are relatively short due to the season, so the long line, from noon to the sunset in the west mountain, can barely walk dozens of miles.Anticipating that after getting up tomorrow morning, the forced march will arrive in the afternoon, so Yu Chigong ordered to go down and set up camp on the spot to rest.

After arranging the sentry post and assisting the guards to set up the tent, Yuchi respectfully summoned many generals and lieutenants to discuss the strategy after arriving in Binzhou tomorrow.

According to the available information, all the generals believed that it was necessary to forcibly attack the city.Binzhou had a good harvest last year, and the government treasury had enough food and grass. If we fought a war of attrition with them, there would be too many people on our side, which would not be conducive to a long-term siege.Moreover, considering the impact of this incident, Li Shimin had just changed his Yuan, and such an incident occurred, and it was necessary to defeat and capture Li Yi in one fell swoop.Otherwise, Li Shimin would really lose face.

Yuchi Jingde listened deeply.But a strong attack is head-to-head. As far as Li Yi's military talent is concerned, it is not something to brag about. Li Yi has fought more battles than Yuchi Jingde.If his side suffered heavy losses, Li Shimin would not be able to account for it.

Just when Yuchi Gong was preparing to station outside Binzhou city the next day, Luo Yan suddenly opened his mouth to stop Yuchi Jingde's words.

"General, does your Majesty wait for me enough food for the army for how many days?" As a military reporter, Luo Yan is naturally qualified to participate in such a meeting, and has the right to express his views.

Yuchi Gong thought about it and said: "Your Majesty gave me enough food and grass to last the army for a month, but considering the impact of this matter, we can only settle it quickly. I think that within seven days, the army must capture Binzhou." Yuchi Jingde naturally had calculations in his heart, so he didn't hide it from Luo Yan, and said it directly.

"I have a way. If it works, I can take over Binzhou City without bloodshed, and capture Li Yi alive by the way. I just don't know if the general dares to take the risk." Luo Yan said very easily.

With such a method, Yu Chigong was naturally extremely happy.The heavy losses of the soldiers is not what he wants to see. If there is a way to take Binzhou without bloodshed, as long as the time Luo Yan said does not exceed his psychological expectation, he will definitely agree.

When Yuchi Jingde nodded, he said, "Since you have such a good idea, it will save me from waiting here to think hard. Originally, this is what you literati should do. It’s a pity not to use it on the enemy.” It seemed to be a compliment, but it was a sarcasm that made many generals below snicker.

But all the laughs, these people are still listening to ask what kind of good idea Luo Yan is talking about.

Luo Yan raised the few booklets in his hand, and Luo Yan said: "This is what I got from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War before I left, about the situation of Governor Shi Zhao Cihao of Binzhou and the commander of the army Yang Ji. Both of them are loyal people. In Binzhou After the fall, the news came from Zhao Cihao. Judging from all signs, the two are still alive, and their movements are likely to be quite free."

After a pause, Luo Yan continued: "We can send our confidantes to sneak into the city tomorrow in the dark, wait for the opportunity to find two people, let them gather the original soldiers in the city, and open the city gate by the opportunity. We will enter the city and capture Li alive. Yi. In addition, he ordered people to sneak into the city and spread the edict that His Majesty designated Li Yi as a rebel. Early on, Zhao Cihao's news said that Li Yi used His Majesty's secret edict Rujing to coerce the soldiers to come. This edict was spread out, and at the same time Promise that I will only kill the chief culprit and the rest will not be held accountable. When Li Yizhong betrays his relatives, someone will naturally kidnap him. Third, at this time, the army should divide into two groups, with one going straight to Binzhou and the other going to intercept Li Yizhong. Yi escaped to Youyan and Turkic way, so that even if it is a strong attack, it will be safe."

It is impossible for Luo Yan not to consider the possibility of Li Yi fleeing to Turkic after his defeat, although in the hearts of others, Turkic may hate Li Yi so much that he grits his teeth.But if Li Yi went to join him, the Turkic people would definitely treat him like gold.They have always admired the strong, and they have always refused to turn to the heroes of the Han people.People like Liu Heitao, Gao Kaidao, and Wan Junzhang repeatedly defected to and betrayed Turks, but they still had great enthusiasm for these people when they came to Turks.

Yuchi Jingde naturally agrees with what Luo Yan said, but there is also a problem, Yuchi Jingde asked: "You are so sure, there is absolutely no problem with these two people." This is a major event involving tens of thousands of people, If by any chance he was deceived by these two people, Yuchi Jingde would be to blame, so he must be cautious at this time.

Nodding his head, Luo Yan said, "I can't guarantee Wen's, but Wu's, I can guarantee my life, there will be absolutely no problem."

What is the reason why Luo Yan trusts Yang Ji so much that he dares to put his life here as a guarantee.This is not a joke, in the barracks, saying so is second only to issuing a military order.Who is Luo Yan, a fifth-rank official, highly valued by Li Shimin, and his future achievements will definitely not be low.

But with such a person trusting another small commander with his life, everyone immediately dispelled their doubts.

"Try it, it won't waste much time anyway." Luo Yan seemed to beg, and after saying this, he didn't open his mouth again.

Thinking about it, what Luo Yan said is not wrong. Anyway, it will take a day or two to implement these plans. It doesn’t matter if it’s okay or not, so I looked around and saw that many generals nodded in agreement, and Luo Yan passed Yan's proposal.

After returning to his tent, Changsun Wuji came looking for him.

The two sat next to the brazier, Changsun Wuji asked: "Jinzhi, so you asked me for Zhao Cihao's resume during the day, just to think about him."

Luo Yan said with a smile: "That's right, since he was the one who brought the news of Binzhou's fall, first of all I want to see how he is. Things have happened for such a long time, since Li Yi can keep him, it must be Li Yi Yi is holding back by himself, or he is now a traitor. But after I checked his resume carefully, I found that most of his family members are in Chang'an, and he took up the post alone. This way, the possibility of traitorousness is eliminated. So I judge, Li Yi must have coerced a lot of soldiers."

Afterwards, Luo Yan said lightly: "As for the commanding army Yang Ji, you may not know that he used to be His Majesty's personal guard."

Seeing that Luo Yan knew such news, Changsun Wuji exclaimed and asked, "Isn't he in Qianniuwei before? How could he be His Majesty's personal guard?"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was so surprised, Luo Yan explained: "If Chen Qi hadn't told me, I wouldn't know. After he came back from the Shandong battlefield, he joined Qianniuwei. Two years later, he was transferred to Binzhou, where he has been until now. It's been too long, and many people don't know his details. Because Qin Wang's personal guards couldn't directly join Qianniu Guards, so His Majesty resorted to some tricks."

This is also to say good things to Li Shimin, in fact, where there are some tricks, Li Shimin directly forged a copy of Yang Ji's resume at that time.

Taking a long breath, Luo Yan continued: "When I arrived, Chen Qi found me. He told me that Yang Ji is absolutely reliable, otherwise, if I died in a foreign land because of this, he would commit suicide to me. Forgive me."

Changsun Wuji felt a little unlucky, and laughed and scolded: "You are really unlucky to speak, why are you dying in a foreign land, and we must be invincible when we lead the emperor's great power. Besides, you don't even have the chance to go to the battlefield in person, where did you come from?" He died in a foreign land." Changsun Wuji thought that Luo Yan was just like him, sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army during the war.With so many troops, if Li Yi was allowed to rush to the camp of the Chinese army, then Datang would also die.

"Naturally, I have to go and see for myself the strategy I presented. Chen Qi assured me that Yang Ji is fine, but I also have to assure the soldiers who entered the city that what I said is fine."

Hearing Luo Yan's reason, Changsun Wuji felt helpless for a while.Luo Yan usually looks like a very smart person, but at this time, he has become so stupid, talking nonsense about guaranteeing for those soldiers.Changsun Wuji couldn't help dissuading him: "Jinzhi, you better not get involved in this kind of thing, if something unexpected happens, it will be bad."

Thinking about it, Luo Yan suddenly smiled and said: "Shangsun Shangshu is right, I'll just sit and watch the show."

Anyway, Yu Chigong wouldn't agree to go to the front army in person, so Luo Yan didn't have the chance to make a move in person.However, as long as the two people he mentioned are trustworthy, then the large army that came, I am afraid that the one that can be used at that time will be the one that will block Li Yi's retreat after dividing the troops.

Speaking of it this way, even Yu Chigong has become a spectator. Luo Yan can imagine that his double mace will not move at that time, and his subordinates will take the credit one by one. Will Yu Chigong's face change? black.

Seeing Luo Yan's sudden change of attitude, Changsun Wuji was a little curious, so he asked one more question: "Why did Jinzhi laugh so strangely all of a sudden, but he thought of some sinister idea. Let's hear it."

With a narrow smile, Luo Yan didn't hide anything, and said, "Tell me, if General Yuchi's double mace hadn't moved at all, this war would have been won, wouldn't his face turn black with anger?"

Pointing at Luo Yan helplessly and amusedly, Changsun Wuji said: "You, you are usually a modest gentleman, how did you become so unbearable when you met General Yuchi?" While talking, he left Luo Yan's tent with a smile.
